From my university experience, most of the saudis who go abroad to study enjoy the western lifestyle (booze, clubbing, etc). I even asked one of the saudis about this and he basically replied "because I can only enjoy myself here, i can't do the same things back in saudi arabia." So my question is why isn't there more of an opposition when most young saudis have experienced western culture, western lifestyle, and freedoms that comes along with it? Why are most saudis just content with being relegated to an oppressive system when they get home?
